SMOKERS STAND.

Application led September To all lwhom z't may concern:

Be it known that I, ROLAND G. LEoKINc- TON, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Lena, in the county of Stephenson and State ofIllinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Smokers Stands,of

which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to stands for smokers and has for its object theprovision of a novel stand which includes a pedestal upon which arerotatably mounted a plurality of containers for pipe tobacco, cigarettesand cigars, the device having also a removable container adapted toserve as an ash tray and being provided at its center with a clip devicefor holding a box of safety matches or matches of the ordinary type.

An important object is the provision of a device of this character inwhich the rotatability of the series of containers will constitute anadvantage as enabling the smoker to gain access to any desired materialsor articles merely by turning the series of eon tainers.

Another object is the provision of a device of this character which willbe simple and inexpensive in construction, attractive in appearance,efficient and durable in service and a General improvement in the art.

ith the above and other objects and advantages in view the inventionconsists in the details of construction to be hereinafter more fullydescribed and claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, inwhich:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device,

Figure 2 is a longitudinal section,

Figure 3 is a top plan view,

Figure 4 is a cross section through one of the containers,

Figure 5 is a detail perspective view of the ash tray removed,

Figure 6 is a detail the match holder.

Referring more particularly to the drawings the numeral 10 designates apedestal of any convenient size, shape and materials, and provided atlits bottom with supporting legs 11 designed to rest upon the floor. Theupper end of the pedestal is formed with a slightly enlarged bearinghead 12.

Carried by this pedestal is the rotatable portion of the device which icomprises a cruciform receptacle 13 constructed'preferably of metal ofany desired gage or character and of any desired dimensions. At itsperspective view of 18, 1922. Serial No. 588,988.

center this receptacle carries a block 14 through which passes a pivotscrew 15 which extends down into the enlarged upper end of the pedestaland which serves as a trun- 111on upon which the receptacle may berotated, The cruciform shape of this receptacle provides a plurality ofsimilar compartments 15 one of which may be used for containing pipetobacco, another for cigars, still another for cigarettes and theremaining one of which is designed to contain a removable tray 16 toreceive ashes, stumps and burnt matches. This removable tray is providedwith a bail 17 which will facilitate its being lifted out when necessaryto dump the contents.

Carried by the receptacle 13 is a top plate 18 which covers the centerand upon which are hinged, as shown at 19, lids 20 for the variouscompartments l5', these lids being provided with knobs 21 facilitatingtheir opening.

Carried by the plate 18 isa match holder consisting of a support 22having a reduced portion 23 upon which is formed or secured anupstanding rectangular post 24 of a size and shape to t within the shuckor shell of a safety match box with the drawer thereof pushed up to giveaccess to the vstems of the matches. If preferred I may employ a cover25 placed upon the reduced extension 23 and enclose the matches toprotect them from moisture.

The use of the device is of course obvious from an inspection of thedrawings taken in conjunction with the above description and it isbelieved that further elaboration is un' necessary.

While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of theinvention it is of course to be understood that- I reserve the right tomake such changes in the form, construction and arrangement of parts aswill not depart from the spirit of the invention or the scope of thesubjoined claims.

Having thus described my invention I claim:

1. A device of the character described comprising an upright pedestal, areceptacle mounted upon the upper end of the pedestal and including acentral element having a plurality of compartments radiating therefrom,a plate covering said central element and lids hinged upon the edges ofsaid plate for covering the respective compartments.
